MUÑJAVĀN. A mountain. This is in the range of the Himālayas. Paramaśiva performs his frequent penances at this place. Śiva freely rambles for pleasure with his army of goblins in the caves and shades of trees in this place. Everyday the Sādhyas, Rudras, Viśvadevatās, Vasus, Yama, Varuṇa, Bhūtas, devils, Nāsatya, Aśvins, Gandharvas, celestial maidens, Yakṣas, Devarṣis, Ādityas, Maruts, and Yātudhānas come to this mountain to worship Śiva. There is neither heat nor cold here. Greying of hairs or rugosity is unknown here. There is no hunger or thirst either. None dies here. On the sides of this mountain gold lies spread like sunlight. (Verses 1-12 Aśvamedha Parva, Chapter 8).
